Because the asterisk (*) wildcard character was used in the destination-name, the DMU record definitions keep the same names after the conversion. 3.DEFINE RECORD CDD$TOP.HARBORMASTER.YACHTS DESCRIPTION IS /* This record contains the manufacturer, model, and dock number of each yacht in the harbor, along with the owner's name. */.
